Concept Introduction:
Hydrocarbons:
Only carbon and hydrogen atoms are connected to each other by the strong covalent bonds in any organic molecule is called hydrocarbon.
Alkenes are hydrocarbon that must contain a carbon-carbon double bond in it. The general formula of alkene is drawn here:
Alkynes are also hydrocarbon that must contain a carbon-carbon triple bond in it. The general formula of alkyne is shown here:
Aromatic compounds are organic molecules that possess the aromatic character similar to benzene.
Alkyl halides are halogenated hydrocarbons with the formula,
Alcohols:
Alcohols are organic compounds whose molecules contains the hydroxyl
Carboxylic acids:
Carboxylic acids are hydrocarbon derivatives that contains the carboxyl functional group bonded to the alkyl groups. The general formula of carboxylic acids is drawn here:
Esters:
Esters are a class of organic compounds that can be derived from the dehydration reaction of carboxylic acids with alcohols. The generalized formula of esters is shown below:
